National Bakery

I found this little bakery by accident. I have been twice now and will plan to go again. Let me just say the desserts are FANTASTIC. I tried the Galaktoboureko (custard pie) for the first time ever and Wow is it delicious. I will also say with confidence that the baklava was the best I have ever had and I have been to Greece. Oh the tiramisu.....the best!!!!!! I also tried a napoleon and it was delish! I recommend you try this place out. They have been in Tarpon for over 100 years. The customer service is great.

I’m not kidding when i say the best baklava I’ve ever had is from this little gem of a bakery! Amazing taste, super moist and lots of filling. The almond cookies are also delicious- she was right, you can’t buy just a couple. They’re so soft and have amazing flavor! The customer service is wonderful… If you are in the tarpon springs area, definitely stop here and get some desserts!!

Walk two blocks off the main drag and find this absolutely amazing hidden gem. Hellas might have a bigger selection, but National Bakery has amazing food and a much shorter line. Staff were kind and helpful. The baclava by was amazing, both with and without chocolate. If this is how baclava is supposed to taste, I demand a refund for all my previous tastings. If you’re in Tarpon Springs, stop here. You won’t be sad.

All the desserts looked amazing and it was so hard to choose. After speaking to the lovely woman behind the counter, we ended up taking 4 desserts home: a cannoli, a slice of baklava, a baklava cheesecake, and a kataifi roll. Pictured is the baklava cheesecake, which was incredible. You will not be disappointed by anything you pick! Once we run out of our sweet treats from National Bakery, we will be back for more!

If you’re in Tarpon Springs and don’t wander off the main drag, you’ll miss this little gem. Tucked away on the back streets is National Bakery — serving up old-school Greek pastries since 1925. The baklava? Rolled like an egg roll, crispy on the outside, soaked just right inside. Easily the best thing I had in town. No flash, no frills — just trays full of pastries that actually taste homemade. Total surprise find while walking, and absolutely worth the detour. Support the small spots. This one’s a keeper.
